Unique film that could have been a 10

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2013)

This was everything that a summer action film should be. Stunning graphics, a unique story line, solid plot, solid acting (though this was likely the weak point) and a very well paced movie. I found myself in sheer awe of many of the CGI scenes. They were really, really well done. Stunning in fact.
This movie could have actually been a 9 or 10 with better acting and tweaks to the script. That said, this was an absolutely entertaining film that is sure to be added to my personal video library. It will be a great "demo Blu Ray" for any home theater enthusiast.
BTW, Idris Elba was the stand out of the actors. He did an excellent job. A couple of the others were also solid, but no one rose t Idris' level. Had they hired better actors, this could have been even better.
